Verdict

This is weak, and CUP OF AMBITION really wouldn't need to improve much on his Leicester run to hold a solid chance. With the likelihood of improvement to come, he'taken to come out on top in a modest event. Padding looks to be the one that will give him most to do after some solid enough efforts and may well improve a little for this step up in trip. Mr Witmore looks best of the rest, but wouldn't be one to trust.
